Remote Shutdown Service

Node/Express server for https://github.com/EkaanshArora/remote-shutdown-app to trigger shutdown, restart and sleep desktop commands from your phone.

Should work on Mac, Windows and Linux. You'll need to launch the service as a superuser to have necessary privileges to execute shutdown command.

There's a version with network discovery using MDNS. You'll need to compile MDNS for your system to use it. Use the mdns branch of the app.

I use pm2

• Configure autostart (optional) pm2 autostart.
  • On Windows you can add pm2 resurrect to a start.cmd file and add it to your registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run to launch the command on startup
• Save the current running tasks for autostart pm2 save

Listens on port: 5001 with password: e by default
